Salience and Unity in the Mixed Jurisdictions: The Papers of the World Congress

Introduction by Vernon Valentine Palmer

The Tulane Law Review has graciously permitted me to write a few words of introduction about the articles of the First Worldwide Congress on Mixed Jurisdictions. Before beginning that pleasant task, however, I must thank the Review, not merely for extending this privilege but more importantly for undertaking the monumental task of editing and publishing the entire set of articles. The number and international breadth of the articles has undoubtedly taxed the Review's resources, but in the end these efforts have produced a lasting contribution to the study of mixed jurisdictions. This is in keeping with the finest traditions of the Review and its continuing devotion to comparative law.
